High-Wire Act

Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream.

Wilson, 28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car (索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too. \

When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard's body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson's first challenge was to climb onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson's greatest fear wasn't that he'd fall, but that he wouldn't reach Richard. \

When he reached Richard's chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.

Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance. That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.

（1）What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car? A. He was sick and became unconscious. B. He left his skis which stopped the cable car. C. He was too afraid to move forward in the cable car. D. He was caught by the neck, hanging down the cable. （2）How did Richard survive? A. People worked together and saved him. B. Wilson climbed on the cable and saved him. C. The ski patrol got him down and treated him. D. Skiers treated him and carried him to the hospital.

（3）The author wrote the fourth paragraph to show that . A. the rescue process was dangerous B. something was wrong with the cable car C. Wilson could manage the process very well D. the operator of the cable car ignored his duty

A. it is very dangerous to go skiing B. he that climbs high often falls heavily

But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.”当威尔逊触到理查德的椅子时，他把一条腿甩过缆绳，试图跳到上面。但是当他那样做的时候，他的夹克被活动脚踏板给挂住了。脚踏板在上面，然后挂着威尔逊开始向下滑。但他及时让自己摆脱困境，够到了理查德，这段主要描述了Wilson救人的经过，且场面惊险，稍有不慎可能威尔逊自己也会受伤，所以这段描写主要突出救人的危险。故选A。 （4）考查推理判断。根据文章大意可知，Wilson能在那个危急时刻去求Richard表现他的勇敢；在5分钟内能想到可行的方法，说明Richard处乱不惊，沉着冷静。综上所述，面临危险勇敢，冷静才能化险为夷。故选C。
